Decorated with love: Konditor & Cook Valentine’s designs

Konditor & Cook were my nemesis en route to work in my former life. I couldn’t pass their Holborn branch without buying one of their muffins for breakfast!

If I tell you Peggy Porschen previously decorated cakes at Konditor & Cook that gives you a clue to their style. They’re most well known for their individually iced fondant fancies which are showcased here amongst their 2014 Valentine’s collection.

A lot of love has gone into decorating these cakes so pull up a chair and eat with your eyes…

Valentine’s Cupcakes – £3.15 each / £12 for box of 4 / £18 for box of 6 Konditor & Cook signature Curly Whirly, Raspberry Chequer and wheat-free Mount Hazelnut cupcakes are joined by the bright and citrusy Lady Marmalade, all decorated with icing emblems of love.

Sweet Love Mini Heart Cake – £15 A lovely cake that’s a little naughty: pink and white vanilla sponges boozed up with a soak in brandy, filled and covered with apricot jam, brandy buttercream and a final layer of marzipan.

Wow that is central. I remember some flats being built above Chancery Lane station and saying to husband “We should sell and move here instead” but never did. No doubt we’d have moved out by now with a family if we had.

I love these cakes from Konditor and Cook. The first valentines day I celebrated with Mr Glam I had a box of these biked to Watford! Aaah the days I had money! We also ordered these for our wedding. Lemony, witty and delightfully colourful. GG

Not at all Karen – they’re well known in London by people who’ve seen the branches but they’ve no celebrity/TV/Book presence so probably you’d not know about them unless you had visited the branches. I guess they concentrate on making great cake rather than being on the telly!!
